"found 3 results in 2 seconds", but shows only 2 results

Just curious, why does FARR sometimes say it finds more results than it shows?

I think it is related to some other statusbar issues previously discussed:
The FARR statusbar displays text on startup even when the GUI was just opened and no text has been entered: (see attachment in previous post)Maybe add some way to disable the "Found _ results in _ seconds." message (or replace it with " ")? Or more radically, to disable all statusbar text.

v2.70.01 had a related fix
https://www.donation....msg171035#msg171035
but didn't fix it completely I think

If you want to disable the statusbar text completely (it is no longer possible to disable the statusbar altogether) then check out the autohotkey script here:

if it says "found 3 results" but only shows 2, then it is showing less than the maximum number you have set to display (by default 9), so the only reason it is only showing 2 is because one of them was a duplicate link to the same file.

Thanks Mouser,

not only is that good to know, it sounds like a very good behavior to have - nice not to have to waste brain glucose on a choice you really shouldn't have to make in the first place (between the two links that are the same anyway).  :up:
